Women Attend
'Vital' Forum
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following "mas-
terpiece" was written by a member of
the Daily sports staff who prefers to re-
main anonymous. The outburst came as
a result of an over the shoulder glance
at the college issue of a well known
women's magazine.
"MISSMATRIMONIALBAIT," the
magazine for stupid young women,"
recently conducted its annual College
Forum to bring into focus for the
college woman, the most vital of
peacetime problems - the college
man.
For months, MISSMATRIMON-
IALBAIT had been planning its
Forum, (to Reader Anasthasia
Zilch: Forum is not a derivative of
Forumal). The war was over at last
New and challenging problems, but
not college men, followed. The
campus was changing overnight
into a controversial buzz about
lasting nylons, internationally edu-
cated (the ones who whistle in 4
languages) men, and their pro-
curement.
Young people everywhere were
breaking out in a rash of challeng-
ing queries, such as: "If you can'
make it Friday, how about Satur-
day?"
MISSMATRIMONIALBAIT took
the campus pulse, and couldn't help
noticing the stunning assortment of
exquisitely designed wrist watches
cunningly blended into perfect har-
mony with milady's summer apparel.
MISSMATRIMONIALBAIT felt
the delicious throb of indecision
and decided to bring together a
group of young women, (something
that proved nearly impossible until
someone suggested bringing a
group of young men along) to par-
ticipate in a discussion of ways
and means to'bring about the re-
subjugation of the returning male
after his 3 or 4 years of freedom.
After a lengthy four-hour discus-
sion in which nothing was acconi-
plished, the Forum recessed for lunch.
The need for another session was
eliminated when the Forum mem-
bers were caught in a traffic, the
cause of which, as they soon discov-
ered, was one young lady neatly at-
tired in an extremely tight fitting
yellow sweater.
Suomynon6 Serves
As Coordinating Unit
Suomynona, the organization for
independent women living in private
homes, will continue its function of
coordinating the activities and in-
terests of these coeds.
Suomynona's president, Patricia
Hall, sits on the Assembly Board in
an ex-officio capacity. The group is
a branch of Assembly, the independ-
ent women's central organization.

SHE KNOWS THE SECRET OF A
COLLINS WELL-PLANNED WARDROBE
Every girl knows how imnortant a couple of COLLINS
wool classic dresses are for school, for afternoon dates
and "Rushing."
She knows how essential a COLLINS colorful basic
skirt is to her wardrobe-whether she prefers plains or
plaids she loves to change it by adding a beautiful COL-
LINS sweater one day, or a bunny soft Angora the next.
She knows an impeccably tailored suit is a "must"
in her wardrobe. A suit than can be dressed up with a
sequin studded scarf and kidskin gloves or "down" with
a tailored blouse and pigskin gloves. "With those early
football games in mind."
And of course for her "big moments" she has a basic
date dress that sparkles aglow with her Eisenberg jewelry.
These and her Coats, Jackets, and all the accessories
necessary to make a College girl happy can be found at
COLLINS, headquarters for the correct college clothes.
